Default anyone do 4x4 floor pan conversions?

got a escos rep (swear)

Bought a 4x4 sierra looking to get someone to do the conversion for me as I'm shite with a welder!

Then looking for a list of what I'll need for the drivetrain/engine.

Would look to use genuine ecos parts - spent so much already its not worth selling and getting a genuine one

How did I know someone would say that! But I'm not interested in those sort of comments. It's my money my car. end of.

So I ASK again, who can do it? and how much?

Mark
Would that not be classed as ringing???
And I didn't think the panels off a normal escort would fit on an escos?

As already said, just buy a proper Escos shell! Why bother spending time and effort doing something the manufacturer has already done for you???

You'll be looking at £1500 - £2000 to get the floor pan jigged and welded in properly. You CAN buy a bare escos shell for that money.
But if you want to pay the same money, maybe Danny B or DJM?

mate, it's your car and you can do what you like with it, yeah you'll probably lose out on quite a bit of the paper stuff, but if thats what you want to do then so be it
